Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

In this world, the most difficult thing is not being able to choose.The unwilling and angry crying that night finally became a trace in Prince Ying's heart.After that, the child became more calm and introverted, and it became more and more difficult for people to understand what he was thinking.

Regarding the attachment to the Eastern Palace, Prince Ying showed an almost morbid attachment to this matter.Such a terrible emotion has already borne evil fruit at this ignorant age.

No one knows what kind of mood this woman was in when His Royal Highness, the daughter of Chengxiang Palace, made up her mind to stand by the prince.

Years later, Prince Ying sat in front of his mother's hospital bed and asked this beautiful woman who had spent her whole life wantonly why she didn't stop her son when she learned what a rebellious thing he would do.

This woman, who was already extremely weak due to her serious illness, but still as beautiful as a red plum, smiled softly when she heard such a question.She held her son's slender fingers, just like Prince Ying held her back then.

"Probably because I know that such things cannot be stopped... If you are destined to go on such a path in the future... If even your mother is unwilling to help you, it will be too lonely..."

***

In the spring of March, Mr. Genji suddenly contracted malaria. He tried spells, prayers and other methods, but nothing worked.Fever and cold attack from time to time, very painful.The son of Zuo minister's family may say that it is because he has disturbed the hearts of too many daughters' families, and he is always concerned about resentment, so he has not been able to get better.

Even though he was joking like this, he was still anxious for his friend.I don't know where to find out: "There is a monk who is efficacious in a temple in Beishan. When the disease was prevalent last summer, other monks were helpless, but this master saved many lives. The disease should not be delayed. Try it as soon as possible. Try it."

So they sent someone to invite someone down the mountain, but the other party said that it was difficult to go out because of old age and inability to move.There is no other way, only micro-service travel.

Speaking of this eminent monk, he has a deep personal relationship with the Minister of Internal Affairs.When malaria was rampant last summer, it was also the Minister of the Interior who wrote to ask for prescriptions and other things to prevent the disease from spreading wantonly.

Perhaps this secluded mountain was not contaminated by the filth of the world, ten days later, when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, Mr. Genji's illness was also greatly cured.The capital also sent people to congratulate her on her recovery, and the palace also sent a censor.Perhaps because he was dazzled by the beautiful scenery in the mountains, Genji lingered for a few days before planning to go back.

The monks and nuns in the mountains had never seen such a beautiful person in their life, and they all praised: they really don't look like people in the world.The monks couldn't hold back their tears. Such a parting was really sad.

When Genji set off, His Royal Highness Yingying received the news.He was looking at it with a policy theory, then he turned around and asked the people next to him to prepare a gift and send it to Prince Guang's residence.

"I heard that Prince Guang was very reluctant to leave. I have already gone to inquire, and it turns out that there is a female son living next to the Beishang Temple."

It was one of the right-hand men selected by the Minister of Internal Affairs for Prince Ying to bring the news to Her Highness Ying.This one is the nephew of Jiao Shibu's natal family, with an overly lively personality, which is not at all the same as Jiao Shibu.His name is Noyama Shinpei, and he is two years older than the Fourth Highness.A few months ago, he entered the palace as the companion of Prince Ying, and sent many news for His Royal Highness.

His Highness Ying glanced at Xinping's smirking face, saw him look like "Your Highness, please ask me what I found!", she looked away and said casually.

"Which big family would raise their daughter in such a place, it's probably not a public official. However, my brother, the emperor, has always been fond of beauty and love, and never cares about these things."

"Your Highness is only half right!" Xinping moved two steps forward, and whispered to the fourth prince's ear mysteriously, "That girl is actually the illegitimate daughter of the Qing Palace of the Ministry of War, who was hidden in Beishan. According to the news Said, Prince Guang intends to adopt this girl!"

"The Palace of the Ministry of War?"

The current Qing Gong of the Ministry of War and His Royal Highness Barnacle are compatriots of the same mother, standing on the side of Minister Zuo.He was very opposed to the right minister in the court.Such a sensitive identity always made His Royal Highness Ying think about it.However, I can't think of anything now.I only said that if the illegitimate daughter really entered Prince Guang's mansion, then he should make more plans.

Noyama Shinpei looked at the prince's expression of frowning and thinking, and his heart was very complicated.When he entered the palace a few months ago, he was first amazed by this man's good looks.After getting along with each other, he was shocked by the prince's maturity, intelligence and quick-wittedness.The most depressing thing is that the martial arts he is most proud of is also a complete failure.

The prince is obviously two years younger than him!

In front of His Highness Fourth Highness, Xinping would sometimes have some very subtle feelings of inferiority.The Minister of the Interior clearly said that His Highness Fourth is a very cute little prince, why didn't he notice it at all?

"Wake up!"

With a crisp sound, Ye Shan's forehead hurt, and he snapped out.The prince withdrew his hand calmly, and said in a natural tone: "It's time to go to class, if you fall asleep again this time, I won't help you."

"..."

Sure enough, I was not mistaken, His Royal Highness is really not cute at all!

Xu Shichun's style is too annoying, coincidentally, His Royal Highness Barnacle has also felt unwell recently.Although His Majesty was very reluctant to part with her, but because of the past hatred, he escorted the female emperor back to Santiaoyuan for recuperation.I have no one to accompany me today, but I have never been lucky enough to be with other people. I just occasionally drink to the moon alone, which makes all the attendants sigh with emotion for His Majesty's deep affection for the barnacle maiden.

If it was in the past, His Majesty's move would definitely attract ridicule and curse from Honghui Palace.But now, this woman doesn't seem to care about her husband any more, she doesn't care about her husband, she just focuses on paving the way for the East Palace.

She can't interfere with the affairs of the court, the power of the harem must be firmly held in her hands.She selected the noble daughters of ministers from several families, checked their character and appearance, and wanted to pick a good day to welcome them in.It's just that when it was reported, some of them disagreed, and some of them were unwilling.The unsatisfactory progress made Honghuidian very angry several times.

In such a situation, Dong Gong felt somewhat relieved and would not be so embarrassed.When Prince Ying made a fuss that day, Suzaku realized that His Highness the Fourth Highness depended too much on him.That child always has to grow up, marry a wife and become a knight, so he can't always be attached to his elder brother like he was when he was a child.

Consciously or unintentionally, Donggong reduced the number of meetings with His Highness Yingying.Fortunately, Prince Ying did not show too many radical actions.

Perhaps, is really sensible.After several rounds, Donggong finally felt relieved.And after the companion entered the palace, Suzaku was also very happy to see that Prince Ying made a new friend named Noyama Shinpei.Thinking of Yingying's attachment to her, it may also be because there are no princes of the same age in the imperial palace, and the fourth prince is too lonely.

Perhaps it was because he felt that the prince was getting older, and he would be crowned in a year, and he could no longer be like a child.When getting along with His Highness Fourth Highness, Donggong no longer hugged him like a child.

Once, when the two were discussing studies, Prince Ying subconsciously held Dong Gong's hand, but Dong Gong Zuo avoided it as if he didn't see it.The prince's eyes flickered, and he moved away naturally.

"I offended the emperor brother,"

"Ah, no," Donggong seemed to have been found out that something was wrong, and for some reason he felt a little guilty, "It's just that Yingying is going to be an adult soon, so it's always indecent."

The prince glanced at Donggong, then turned his gaze out of the window, his voice was faint. "After becoming an adult, there seems to be nothing I can do. Since Suzaku was crowned, it seems that she has never been happy every day."

"There are sorrows and joys when you come and go, and you know that you are in the world. Brother Huang, I am just a mortal."

The atmosphere between the two suddenly became quiet, and an unknown flower petal floated from nowhere and landed on the ancient book on the table.On the elegantly textured paper pages are written poems written by the predecessors who missed their lovers bitterly, which makes people feel sad when they look at it.

The wind blows the willow catkins, I don't know where you are going.

However, what is even more regrettable than this is that people are still around but they are about to lose their grip.The prince picked up the many falling petals and crushed them into a puddle of red juice in his palm.

How could this be allowed to happen.

***

A few months later, Prince Ying just turned 11 years old.The scorching July sun made the wooden corridor blindingly white, and a piece of news brought a torrential rain on this windless day, and the stuffy harem soon became lively.

The barnacle female imperial concubine in Santiaoyuan is pregnant with the emperor's heir!

I am overjoyed today, wishing to see His Royal Highness Barnacle soon.But because the fetus was not stable and other reasons, they couldn't meet each other immediately to express their lovesickness.Even the intention of abdicating, which is often on the lips, has been delayed a lot.Send people to give condolences and give gifts, send highly skilled imperial physicians and experienced women, and order to take good care of the female emperor and the little prince.

While delighted, he was also annoyed at why it took three months to discover such a major event.Some people may say that because barnacles are loved and respected by the world today, such things happen because there are always evil spirits invading them.The Holy Majesty felt quite reasonable, and organized another grand blessing ceremony to pray for the two Highnesses.

As for how many curses and things were broken in Honghui Hall.Those voices were all lost in the sound of eminent monks chanting scriptures loudly.

The lady of Chengxiang Palace wore a thin summer dress, leaned to the side and took advantage of the night wind to shake her thin fan, and said with a smile: "This July, it's really a good time for thunderstorms."

Prince Ying did not speak, read the notes in his hand, and then threw them into the incense burner beside him.After a while, bursts of smoke rose from the furnace.Looking at the burst of white smoke, the prince breathed a sigh of relief.

The author has something to say: Barnacle is pregnant, of course it is Genji's child.In the subsequent settings, the little prince is very important.Yingying is about to enter Yuanfu, and finally she can safely and boldly fall in love.Hey, why do I have to start writing from a child every time.He is obviously such a wretched person, but he really can't control the pure hearts of the children, crying

that's all.
